Best MMO PvP you ever played?

PVP was so good in that game. That its still kickin to this day. Plus the player base is phenomenal.

some people...........

DARKFALL! -Clords2011-

and

SWG

Some of these stories make me wish I were older and had known what MMOs were when these games came out. Nevertheless, Guild Wars was my favorite. Specifically, Alliance Battles. Most players thought they were the weakest link in pvp, but I found them the most fun. 12 Kurzicks versus 12 Luxons, and it was chaos amongst control points. For my friends and I, it was not only a hub for fun and experimentation, pushing the boundaries of what our characters could do with eight skills, but it was a sense of pride, of entitlement, of a fight to defeat our mortal enemies. Every time you saw enemies approaching your capture point, adrenaline rushed and you couldn't wait for the fight to erupt. Especially when both teams clashed at that one neutral point.

Yes, it was that ridiculously nerdy, and I loved every minute of it.

DAOC and its not even close

Darkage of Camelot obviously, there hasn't been an MMO to rival that since. Massive diversity, incredible classes. Freedom of play (bioware could learn volumes off them) amazing pvp/pve dungeons "Darkness Falls"....was nothing wrong with it until TOA destroyed it. Sadly Daoc wouldn't take off today, far to much freedom an diversity in the game. Mythic didnt believe in mirror image classes, people were expected to learn their classes, an counteract others.

The ONLY people who wouldn't name DAOC as the #1 pvp mmo, and no other game comes close, are those people who never played the game.

Seriously, its not even close. No other game has achieved so many levels of pvp (solo, small grps, full groups, zergs) harmoniously and each with their own community within the game as DAOC did. And the pvp also gave you a sense of realm pride and made you want to go fight, even without any fancy gear rewards or anything.

You had a place to shine for all skill levels, and yes it did take a bit of strategy and skill to actually play. I mean heck, if one little thing hit you, you couldnt cast if you were a healer or caster. I remember my first day of WoW which i played for 5 months after its release going omg i can cast with people hitting me, its like permenant MOC! no skills

Ahh good old daoc, i miss my skillah :P

WAR probably. I missed the DAoC bus, so didn't get to play it. Aion wasn't too bad pre-2.0, but it quickly turned into a 1-3 shot PvP lag zerg fest where you didn't last much more then a few seconds in PvP almost 24/7. They also ruined world pvp with too many NPCs and inviable areas that catered to the botting Asian crowd. In 3.0 it will be PvE game for the most part, which is why I quit.

ooh i almost forgot daoc = freddyhouse.com, bleaders should pay me royalties
